Ellen Korth
Visual Artist
I work as a multimedia photographer/artist, known as producer of, among other things, the international prizewinning design book Utilité (awarded with the silver medal for best book design in Leipzig) and the photo-art book Jorinde - admitted in the library of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Fascinated by Japanese culture and my own journey through life, I photograph the curiosities of everyday life.
I document and archive these, creating a complete work of art, consisting of photography, interviews, music, film, objects and book-art. > read more <

The exhibition and book presentation SIDAI “ Beauty” will take place on March 23, 2025 // 2:00 pm in the greenhouses at Schoneveld Breeding in Wilp.
Enveloped in soft, translucent Japanese Kozo-Washi paper, you will find a series of extraordinary plant portraits.
Each plant in the picture embedded in its own entourage of draped fabrics, concealing something and adding something.
The plant is not simply shown but partly hidden. It emerges, as it were, from an environment, in a certain light.
This takes us away from ordinary looking. It immediately starts doing something else with it.
This book is not just for looking. It is a total experience.
The pages of the book want to be “be-grasped,” just like the plants, leaves and flowers in a garden, where the optical is only a part of possible experiences.
